Unlimited Games. How should Red play 62?

In a close race it is often right to block your opponent’s double sixes. This position demonstrates that principle very clearly.

The right play is 13/11, 13/7. If White rolls a two he may not even hit. For example 21 would be played 8/7, 6/4.

11/3 is a blunder as is 13/11, 8/2. Everything else is even worse.
